Join us in Margate for an August essential oil candle making workshop.

The workshop is a relaxed introduction into the process of using essential oils and natural wax to create botanical candles. We will guide you through exploring and experimenting with the oils to make your own bespoke scent blend, before hand-pouring your own candle to take home.

We will also discuss why we prefer using natural ingredients in the home, the difference between fragrance and essential oils, different wax types and how scent stimulates the olfactory system evoking memories and helping to create new ones as well as candle care tips.

The workshop will take place at August Store - August, 6a Market Street, Margate, CT9 1EU.

The workshops have a run time guide of 90 minutes — this is a guide as the number of guests or the amount of time taken to experiment with oils can influence the duration. If you have specific time requirements please email us beforehand.

It is worth noting your candle will need to set for around 40 minutes to achieve a smooth top. We will arrange a convenient time to drop off/ pick up the candles, which will all be carefully labelled.
